Abstract
The invention is a simple and inexpensive device to be applied in the health area, in order to solve a serious problem of contamination by pathogens through skin contact with toilet flushing devices. The invention is able to adapt to any type of lever or toilet flush rope and allows it to be activated without the need for skin contact. This device consists of a Pedal (1), a flexible Tape (2) and an adjustable Clip (3). The tape takes the vertical movement of the Pedal to the lever or rope and gives sustainability to the suspended positioning of the Pedal (1). The toilet is then flushed with the use of one of the feet, without personal contamination, which encourages its use, which, consequently, increases the hygiene of the bathroom.
